THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time.—A.D. 48 and 49.
Place.—Iconium, Lystra, and Der -

through the same cities, then. to An-
tioch of Pisidia, south to Pamphylia,
and back by sea to, Antioch of Syria.
THE MISSIONARIES HONORED.
And at Lystra there sat a certain
man. He sat perhaps in the market
place, as a beggar, the crowd being
there. Impotent in his feet, a cripple
from his mother's womb, who never
had walked. His feet were useless,
he had been .born so, he had never
ate
walked.
The same heard .Paul speaking,
The market place would be the ap-
ostle's favorite preaching station.
Who, fastening; his eye upon him.
Frointhe context of the latter pass-
age, in which we learn that the apos-
tle did not recognize the high priest,
some have thought that this straining
earnest gaze, so frequently ascribed.
to St.' Paul, was due to some wedk
mess of sight remaining ever since his
blindness at the home of his conver-
sion. And seeing that he had faith
to be made whole. It is evident an
the face of the narrative that it was
not every cripple, or every sufferer
that Paul would have attempted to
heal.
Said with a loud voice. Paul shout -
el the command, both to arouse the
cripple to the fullest exertion of his
faith, and to draw to the miracle the
attentidn of all the crowd. Stand up-
right on thy feet. Note the nervous
energy of the command. And he
leaped up and walked. In Jerusalem,
Peter took the lame man by the hand
and lifted him up.
And when the multitude saw what
Paul had done. It was the• Lord who
did it through Paul. They lifted up
their voice, It was a general shout of
amazement, some calling out one
thing, some another. Saying in the
speech of Lycaonia. Paul's Greek
would have been understood by the
natives, but they "were bi-lingual, and
would, when addressing each other
in a moment of excitement, break out
into their mother tongue, much as the
Welshmen might to -day. This would
explain how the apostles did not get
their meaning till it took shape in
act."
The gods are come down to us in
the likeness of men. "The appearan-
ce of gods in human form was not
altogether unexpected in heathen an-
tiquity.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter;
and Paul, Mercury, because he was
the chief speaker. Paul's evident or-
atorical power and the cure of the
cripple which he had just accomplish-
ed likened him to Mercury on two'
counts.
And the• priest of Jupiter whose
temple was before the city. The pre-
sence of this temple to . Jupiter was
another reason why Barnabas was
thought to be that god. Broughtox-
en and garlands unto the gates. The
gates of the city are meant, or pos-
sibly the entrance gates of the house
in which the apostles were staying,
or the gates of the temple itself. And
would have done sacrifice with the.
multitudes. It .was not a general act
of worship, but was specifically dir-
ected toward the apostles as the sup-

Nita was worried ... she could not imagine where she had
lost her bracelet—ire the hotel or on the journey home:
"I can't'think what I could have done with it," she kept
telling her mother.
'Why root telephone. to the hotel," mother suggested, "It's
after eight -thirty now and a call will only cost a few
cents."
Imagine Nita's joy when the hotel clerk told her that the
bracelet had been found in her room and would be mailed
to her right away
Thanks to her mother's suggestion, Nita's anxiety was re-
' lievedat once ... and the cost of the call was, considerably
less than her taxi Saxe ftonn the station,

" But when the apostles, Barnabas
and Paul, heard of it. Inside the
house,'they may have heard a clamor.
in the street, and have gone outside,
or ,sent, to learn the cause of the up-
roar, They rent their garments. •'A
common mode of expressing extreme
abhorrence. And'sprang forth among
the multitude, crying out, Their ges-
ture would speak 'their refusal of wor-
ship, if any in the crowd did not un-
derstand their Greek.
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these
things? "This speech contains' the
thoughts more fully developed in
Rom. 1:19, etc. We also are men of
like passions; with you. The margin-
al reading is "of like nature," And,
bring • you good 'tidings, The good
tidings were the news of a living God
in place of dead gods, That ye should
turn from these vain things unto a
living God. "fain" means s empty, of
no worth. Who made the heaven,
and the earth and the sea, and all
that in them is, The heathen had in-
numerable gods, each presiding over
one aspect of nature, dwelling in ev-
ery tree and stream.
Who in. the generations gone by
suffered all the nations to walk in.
their own ways. "Their own ways,"
signifies their self-directed habits.
.And yet left not himself without
witness. God would' not have been a
loving Father if he had given to all
men, Jews and Gentiles alike, as much
knowledge of God and gf God's 'ways
as each was prepared to receive.
In that he did good. When the nat-
ural forces harm us, it is because we
are living in disobedience to their
laws, And gave you from heaven
rains and fruitful seasons, filling your
hearts with food and gladness, Paul's
plea to this heathen audience is' much
like the reasoning before a very diff-
erent heathenassembly, that on Mars'
Hilal. in Athens; compare Acts 17: 23-
31.
And with these sayings scarce res-
trained they the multitudes from do-
ing sacrifice unto them. When Paul,
shipwrecked on the island of Malta,
shook off without harm the viper that
of the island said he was a -god; but
we are not • told of any attempted
worship of Paul, and probably he did
not know of it at the time.
THE ATONING OF PAUL. .
But there came Jews thither from
Antioch and Iconium. They came on
the scene after the missionaries had
been in Lystra for some time, pat-
iently laying the foundations of a
church from which we hear favorably
in after years. And having persuaded
the multitudes. As they were of the
same race as Paul and Barnabas,
their lies concerning them would be
easily believed by the heathen. They
stoned Paul. The mode of attempted
execution was Jewish, and shows that
those who instigated the attack also
led in the final outrage. And dragged
him out of the city, Treating Paul
just as when he was a persecutor, he
had treated the Christians of Jerusa-
lem.
But as the disciples stood round
about him. Not questioning his
death, the sorrowing disciples took
no thought of their own danger, but
were only concerned with planning
to give reverent burial \to the body
of their beloved teacher. He rose
up, and entered into the city. Luke
is careful not to claim here a resur-
rection miracle, nor does Paul in his
reference to this event, "once I was
stoned." And on the morrow he
went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.
He went eastward about thirty miles
from Lystra.
And when they had preached the
gospel to that city. And also to the
surrounding region. And had made
many disciples. Among them prob-
ably that Gains of Derbe who went
with Paul on his last journey to Jeru-
salem.
